Topic: Dungeness crab spots? (Read 487 times)

Wife and I are looking to snare some dungeness this weekend. Anyone willing to share some decent spots that aren't already crawling with other people? No kayak, no traps. Only fishing poles and snares. Ideally a spot we can take our dogs with us and is 1-2 hours from San Leandro.

If nothing else we may just go to Bodega Bay, but we'd definitely appreciate suggestions for somewhere quieter.

I can report that we went out last weekend in Tomales Bay. Dropped 5 traps throughout the day and pulled up 13 nice sized rock crabs. The only Dungeness we had in the traps were babies, like maybe 8 all day and none over 3". Seems most people were having similar stories. Anybody have more positive news to report?

Not much here. Ended up not heading north at all due to all the smoke; the Tamales/Bodega Bay areas have horrible air quality warnings. Won't be in town next weekend so it looks like Thanksgiving will be the earliest I can go out. Hopefully things pick up soon!

Got one keeper snaring yesterday evening off the beach and one keeper this morning. Threw lots of little girls and guys back. I was using squid.The picture with the kayak is a clue, do you know where it is? Anywhere with sand is a good spot. Boats dropping pots in deeper water are pulling limits from what I hear.

One of my favorite crabbin' spots! Went down there a few days ago with hopes of setting a trap off my yak but swell and shore break was a little too sketchy. Hit me up next time if you ever want to go out snaring I'm always hungry for dungees!

Ha ha. 1. Your picture includes the name of the place on the engraved stone in the background. 😁 2. Your secret spot is in one of the most densly populated cities in the world. Glad you got one though brother.
